Re: Is there an installation guide for Windows GNAT?

[John Kern <jkern3@CORECOMM.net>]

Glad to.  Windows NT Server v4 SP5.  I just now executed (at home this
time) gnat-3.13p-nt.exe followed by adagide-install.exe downloaded from
its home site.  I can execute AdaGIDE and locate and open
E:\Common_Program_Files\gnat\examples\hello.adb.  When I press the
compile button, I get the message:
Compiling...
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': Invalid argument
Done--error detected.

If I were to press the build button either here or with diners.adb open
I find that I have started gnatmake but I still get that message and
perhaps a "Text_IO" is not referenced.

Was I supposed to have entered anything into Tools->GNAT options in
current directory like locations for the compilers (and assembler) or
just command line switches like the sparse online help indicates?  How
do I inform AdaGIDE to use JGNAT when I get its *path* and *environment
variables* set as indicated in its *readme* file?  Did I need to reboot?

Same symptoms on two different computers now.  Operator error?

Thanks
